No fool like an old fool - Jimmy Carter

CNN:
Bush administration urges Carter not to meet with Hamas
The Bush administration has urged former President Jimmy Carter not to go forward with plans to meet with the leader of Hamas, the State Department said Thursday.
Carter may meet next week in Damascus, Syria, with Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal, as part of a trip to the Middle East.
Carter spokeswoman Deanna Congileo told CNN she could not confirm or deny whether any specific meeting might take place during Carter's trip.
However, a Hamas official told CNN that Carter plans to meet with Meshaal, who lives in exile in Damascus to avoid being arrested or killed by Israel.
The meeting with him had been announced as including members of a council of world leaders, including former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and former South African President Nelson Mandela, but the group issued a statement Wednesday saying they were postponing the trip.
It would be nice to get Carter, Annan and Mandela together into one room. A grenade would remove a lot of foolishness from this world. Annan's corruption, Mandela's insufferable Marxism and Carter's myopic stance on terror.
I had written about this bunch
back in September 2007. Sad to see they are still around causing problems...
